using a pessary in pregnancy

Atm I have thrush and have got medication I don't like using the pessary but had to use it on Monday as am sore and itchy inside I used the applicator but read that your not meant to use it in pregnancy? I was very gentle when I done it but in the end I ended up losing the pessary it as it didn't go far enough lol so I'm having to do another one tonight but I won't be using the applicator the things us women have to do ay lol sorry for long post xx

I had thrust a couple of weeks ago but it's gone now. I never use any medication. Just natural remedy which was steaming over a pan of hot water that had in sea salt, baking soda and dettol. Did it for like 2 days after having a shower. And before I knew it the thrush was gone.

Using a pessary in pregnancy is perfectly safe. My little miracle is due to ivf and I used pessaries three times daily ,until I was 12 weeks. This is a normal part of the ivf regimen so it's perfectly safe. As with anything just be sensible and gentle!

I've had thrush on and off since 6 weeks (I'm 16 wks now) - went to see my doctor about it yesterday and she didn't prescribe me anything and said she only would if it became unbearable.. :(.. I find natural yogurt works to a degree if you use it as a lotion. Eating it helps too - seperate it out first - lol! X
